<p>[QUOTE="Tauriel, post: 36475, member: 77"]I have this coin that I am thinking about selling and coins are NOT my area!! lol <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> Can anyone give me a ball park on the grade, I'm thinking "About Uncirculated" I see no wear but she does have a light scratch under her cheek and there are several tiny dots in front of her eyes on the background. </p><p>I inherited this coin and a 20$ gold coin as well. The two coins were stored on top of one another with a piece of some kind of paper between. The paper looks almost like the paper you clean your glasses with. The coin has a beautiful even, peachy gold tone to it. My dad said once a year he would turn the coins over...I don't know if that toned it or not but it has a beautiful golden tone with blue, pink, and purple tones as well. The problem is I am having a hard time capturing the color... any tips on how to photograph this coin to show the toning? I think you can get an idea from the pics as to grade and they show a hint of the color. Thanks for any help given? </p><p>Also I am thinking I will sell this on ebay, any ideas as to value? I think it will sell well over silver content price, BWDIK? ..thoughts? [ATTACH=full]9196[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]9197[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
